Description

The choice of the right font is a significant base to every print design work. To solve the difficulty of choice Michael Wörgötter for Hermann Schmidt Verlag invented this TypeSelect.

On paper, because it makes sense to select fonts for print projects not according to their effect on the screen, but on the actual reproduction medium.

Michael Wörgötter has gone on a search to select classic and newcomer fonts for you that are particularly suitable for typesetting large amounts of text. We have sorted 264 serif, sans serif and slab serif fonts within the categories according to similarity to enable you to make a direct comparison.

The dummy texts are arranged at an angle so that you have as comprehensive an overall impression as possible of the font in the set. And, of course, we show small caps, oldstyle figures, all weights from extralight to ultrabold and the font's source of supply, if available.

This alone makes TypeSelect the coveted professional font selection tool of the heart. But then we go one better. We think that italics should step out of the shadow of their straight relatives. And therefore dedicate the B-side of the fan to them. There were often hidden champions to be discovered on good vinyl. Conversely, this means that fonts that had the potential to end up in the font fan and didn't have italics were unfortunately left out. In our opinion, a good degree of expansion includes italics.

Whether straight or italic, have fun with your font choice, try something new from time to time and if your Pantone fan turns pale with envy: Set doesn't always have to be black: Warm grey, ultramarine or dark ruby red and other darker colors subconsciously make texts on paper look a little different than always just black. Your printer will have to wash the inking unit, but otherwise nothing stands in the way...
